Let ther^be a general turnout. THE OKEEX11ACK CONVKNTION. Press of other business prevented Us from going over to see the workings of the Greenback Convention, at Wood­ stock, on Saturday last, but after a great deal of Inqnirv we learn through our Woodstock correspondent that the following nominations were made: For County Judge---O. H. Gilmore, of Woodstock. ' .y • County Clerk--Wm. Avery, of Ma­ rengo. Treasurer--Geo. T. lfysson, of Wood­ stock. Superintendent of Schools--A, W. Cumins, of Woodstock. In the nomination of the above tick­ et we judge the Greenback platform must have been forgotten, as but one whose name appears was ever known to avow Greenback principles, or say a word in favor of, the cause But if they consent to run we presume we shall hear from them in the future. iST1 Perhaps the most disreputable attempt at "sterling thunder" which has occurred recently was that of' a few days ago to take from Gen. James A. Williamson, of Iowa, Commissioner •fthe General Land Offiice, all credit ferplansto repress the raids of depre­ dators on the timber lands of the United States. These raids have occurred more specially in the pineries of the North­ west and in Louisiana. Early last winter Gen. Williamson devised a plan to prevent such depredations and to punish the offenders. He wrote out his ideas elaborately and they were ap­ proved by the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Chandler, and were put into im* mediate and successful practical oper­ ation. Many arrests were made and fast quantities of stolen lumber repos­ sessed by the Government. But now it is all at once discovered that the identi­ cal plans put in operation eight months ago by Williamson, have just been dis­ covered by Secretary Schurz. And he 1* puffed accordingly by special repor- j$fs, and even by the Associated Press. x-Minister Washburne, who is again in this country, has been inter­ viewed on the political situatioti'in France. He considers it unsafe to predict what the outcome of any po­ litical contest in France will be. He had great respect for the opinion of M. Thiers, because the latter so thor­ oughly understood the French people, and in his last conversation with the departed statesman, M. Thiers express­ ed the belief that in the coming elect­ ion the Republicans will be overwhelm** ingly triumphant. Mr. Washburne re­ presents the condition of France as prosperous in the extreme. The work- lag classes are well off and good times prevail. The political cloud is the •aly draw back to the highest pros­ ify- ' SSaTlf you want to elope with a pretty girl, keep away from Waterloo, Iowa, and thus avoid the mishaps of Samuel Stackley, who eloped with a young lady from that place on Tuesday, tae twain stealing off in the dead of Bight. They rode in a box car to Dub­ uque, crossing the river at daybreak in • skill to avoid detectives at Dunleith, and hired a rig to go to Fairplay where they expected to be married. On the way a pistol which Stackley was finger­ ing in his pocket was discharged, the <ball passing through his hand and into Ms groin. They then returned to ttabuque where liis wounds were dress- ad, and where an officer took charge of the young lady and sent her home, where her parents were anxiously awaiting her--with a cow-M*»e. WHO IS BOSS HKRK? H I* the question implied in th$ apfions qf Nunda1 s Mc-Pi'esident. • •. * Oh last Monday evening the meeting of our reverend "City Fathers" was analagous to scenes which oftea occur in a household with two heads. Two men laid claim to the authority of President, and'two men spouted for It, but exerted none of it. . The whole trouble was caused by the transitory mind of the ex-presideot and the am­ biguity of his resignation. Acting on a good impulse President Ellsworth sent the following eoveted document to the board at their meeting-room last month. "To the Honorable Board of Trustees Of the village of Nunda--I hereby re sign n>y position in said board. (Signed) M. F. ELLSWORTH The resignation was gladly accepted, so entered in the minutes a^pd Nafah Bear«Isley elected president, pro tem. On Monday evening when a quorum had come together M. F. Ellsworth was observed to be in the Presidential chair, which place he tried to maintain but clerk and members refused to come to order at his command. Mr. Beards- ley attempted to assert power but failed for some reason and the adjust­ ment of the difficulty was proceeding in a most undignified manner until a happy thought took possession of a member who absented himself, thus destroying the quorum and making it impossible for any one to call them to order. Very much to the disgust of Mr. E. the remainder ot the members skipped cut too, Well! Mr. Ellsworth will show them tomorrow, that "They must come un­ der his thumb." How? Why, they will then be escorted to the council room by officers of the law who will see that the naught? old boys are sufficiently subjugated to obey when the imperious dictator ditates. That is, they will be served in this way if the thing is possible and if Ellsworth can continue in one mind during the iuterim of 24 hours. How good his claim to the position of President may be remains to be seen; all depending on the interpreta­ tion of his resignation. The resigna­ tion does not indicate wtiat particular position he resighed, but the only rea­ sonable acceptiont^at could be given it was that he resigned all connection with the Board. Still he may consider himself a member and held that the word "Position" meant only the posi­ tion of President, and that he never had been released from membership.-- There might be a virtue in such a claim* but that was not the one he made. He asked for the best'there was, but hasn't got it yet. If he re­ signed as President he still would be a member and as such no one has openly objected to hiiu; but if he resigned from membership that certainly ex­ cludes him from the Presidency. Not for any public good nor for pri­ vate gain was it done, but hinderance was the only motive that brought about this petty, disagreeable compli­ cation. It is just the sort of work which that well-known personage "Finds for Idle hands to do." Without the least doubt Nunda people have had more than enough of such torn* foolery and are looking to the Beard for a quick, decisive remedy. , JF.
